After a large amount of weight loss (100 lbs or more) many people are left with a large amount of overwhelming loose abdominal skin. This obviously is not a pleasant sight and a damper on your self confidence.

Have you recently lost a large amount of weight? Are you disgusted with the apron of drooping, loose abdominal skin? A tummy tuck may be the answer for you!

Recovery: Patients typically return to work within a few days to a week. The effect of this operation is dramatic, with a significant change immediately apparent and gradual improvement over the 6-8 weeks after surgery.
